Synopsis
Iconography is the study of the history, practice, and symbolism of painted Christian images. Iconology probes deeper still, into the "icon" of Divine Presence in the inner man, who is himself made "in the image [ eikón ] of God" (Gen 1:26), as the place where Wisdom seeks to make her home. Written by an iconographer with forty years' experience researching the nature and mission of the icon, The Angel of the Countenance of God explores the biblical epiphanies of God-their translation into images, their mythological parallels, and their Trinitarian and Christological implications. Drawing on his own icon-writing, V. L. Andrejev here focuses on the biblical theme of the "Angel of Jehovah," distinguishing the "created Angels" of the Heavenly Hierarchies from this "uncreated Angel" of Theophany, that divine Being Moses beheld in the flames of the Burning Bush, and Christian tradition depicts as the royal maiden Sophia, personification of the Wisdom of God. This distinction carries profound consequences for iconography, dogmatic theology, and discipleship. The icon written on a board is the "spoken" word made visual, but its final significance lies within each person. For it is man himself, as the living icon of the Image of God, who by means of the immaterial, essential Light of God makes visible in icons the "actions" of God. Icon-writing is "symbolic realism," and though not able to depict God, is able to depict the image of His actions. The fulfillment of the icon, the image of God, is love -the love uniting Bride and Bridegroom in the Song of Songs; that same love hymned by St Symeon the New Theologian and St Maximus the Confessor. The Angel of the Countenance of God will be of value to all who have an interest in iconography, Trinitarian Christology, Sophiology, and Eastern Christianity.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
